Madness 135i

So did Madness Motorworks just buy a set of EU biXenons for their 135i project car that was featured April 2009?

Wonder how much they cost. Looks nice without that gawdawful amber. Need a EU contact and a group buy!!!

Xenon Adaptive Headlight 63117181293 (S522A = Yes, S524A = Yes)
Xenon Adaptive Headlight 63117181294 (S522A = Yes, S524A = Yes)

I believe those are the right part numbers.

Thanks

400 euros a piece, so roughly equal to $520-550

If that turns out to be in the ballpark I'd do it. I could sell off the US OEM set and defray part of the cost down to a reasonable investment to get rid of the AMBER.....

Just not worth it IMO to get clears, you can go with the DEPO replacements if you are absolutely set on the clear look.

I am absolutely set on the clear look. The entire black and red scheme I have going - including red kidney grills and black and red roundels combined with the Breyton GTRacing in black with red stripe - is ruined by the clash of the orange.

But I'm also dead set on maintaining the auto-leveling. Depo is what my xenons were on my E46 from Umnitza back when I was one of his beta testers. They were quite good actually.

Which brings me back to rationalizing the EU OEM price minus what I could get from reselling my US OEM's.
